For a second-order reaction, what is the unit of the rate of the reaction?

a) s-1

b) mol L-1s-1

c) mol-1 L s-1

d) mol-2 L2 s-1

Solutions

Expert Solution

Answer : c) mol-1 L s-1

Explanation :

The general representation of unit a rate of reaction is given by (mol L-1) 1-n s-1.

where n is the order of the reaction.

For a second order reaction, n=2

The unit for rate of 2nd order reaction is,

= (mol L-1) 1-n s-1

= (mol L-1)1-2 s-1

= mol-1 L s-1.

c) mol-1 L s-1
